FAQs
What does Morton’s neuroma feel like?
Many people describe it as burning pain, tingling, numbness, or a sensation like there is a small pebble or wrinkle in the shoe under the ball of the foot. It often gets worse with walking, running, or wearing tight shoes.
Can a chiropractor help with Morton’s neuroma?
A chiropractor may help by assessing biomechanics, lower-body movement, and contributing stressors that can irritate the nerve. The goal is to reduce pressure on the forefoot and improve how you move so symptoms are easier to manage.
What causes Morton’s neuroma?
Common contributors include tight footwear, repetitive impact, prolonged standing, and movement patterns that increase pressure across the forefoot. In some cases, foot structure and mechanics play a role too.
Will Morton’s neuroma go away on its own?
Sometimes symptoms improve with rest, shoe changes, and activity adjustments, but persistent irritation may keep coming back if the underlying pressure is not addressed. Early care can help you avoid ongoing flare-ups.
When should I get checked for foot pain?
If the pain keeps returning, affects your ability to exercise or work, or includes numbness and burning in the toes, it is a good idea to get it evaluated. The sooner you understand the cause, the easier it may be to manage.
